A little-known figure among France’s political and literary avant-garde, Jean Bernier (1894–1975) based this novel, which appeared in 1920, on his experiences as an infantryman in the First World War. In the eyes of his contemporary Jean Norton Cru, La Percée is "undoubtedly the best war novel ever from a historian’s viewpoint."
